Here are my Top 10 watches for GPS accuracy that have so far managed to complete my standard test route. I have a 10 mile test route (16.6km) for accuracy of my GPS devices following a known track.

I was looking for AndroidWear sports apps for the Polar M600. I found a few and some were even interesting! Although there was not too much to tempt me away from the POLAR app that is inbuilt into the M600. Then I stumbled across swim.com (ios and android and other platforms) and the chart to the…
